Today is my birthday, and I honestly can't think of a better birthday wish than this.
After years of dreaming, planning, building, and working to make Killer Video something special, today we're taking the biggest step yet.
TOTALLY KILLER VIDEO IS OFFICIALLY LIVE ON KICKSTARTER!
We're building a permanent home for physical film culture right here in Akron—a place that brings together our museum, a lending library of more than 10,000 movies, a boutique film shop, and a 20-seat micro-cinema.
For me, this is about so much more than opening a video store. It's about preserving something I love, creating a place for our community to come together, supporting independent filmmakers, and making sure the magic of discovering movies doesn't disappear.
We've secured the space. We've built the collection. We've brought an incredible community together. Now we need help making it all happen.
Our goal is $35,000, and every pledge brings us one step closer.
So here's my birthday wish: If you've ever supported Killer Video, attended one of our events, visited the museum, or simply believe in what we're trying to build, please consider backing our Kickstarter today. If you can't contribute, sharing this post would mean just as much.
I know I've asked for your support before, and I don't take any of it for granted. The encouragement, generosity, and belief people have shown in this project have helped get us this far. I'm incredibly grateful.
Let's make this happen.
Physical media isn't dead. It just needs a home.
And this birthday, I'm asking you to help us build one.
Help build Akron's nonprofit film hub: a 10,000+ title rental library, boutique physical media shop, and intimate micro-cinema.
